Monsters

Well I wrote this a few months ago, just never got around to putting it on here. Regardless of the rather depressing nature of the poem, I hope you enjoy it! And I'd love to hear your comments, good or bad

If the dawn is approaching, Don't lie to my senses Show me a break in the shadow of night That's always accompanied By killers of wishes. Salvage this blackness Where my heart once thrived, Or take me away for the final time Console my sorrow or hide me away until my life takes a turn from the light of day. Blind me, So I can't look in the mirror And watch mself fade. I'm losing myself more each day. How long has it been, Since I laughed with you? Since it was to light I would contribute? I want to cry I want to screm I want to make this all a dream. My nightmares won't let me sleep, And in the day My eyes only weep. Through the night these monsers creep Then drag me with them, To forever reap...

For souls like mine.
